Firepay in Canada

[Maken]

I just received an e-mail that says:

Effective February 21, 2007, FirePay (www.firepay.com) will no longer allow Canadian consumer payments to online gambling merchants.

Effective February 28, 2007, FirePay (www.firepay.com) will no longer allow Canadian consumers to receive payments from online gambling merchants.

All Canadian FirePay account holders will continue to be able to make purchases and receive payments from non-gambling online merchants, as well as to "Deposit From" and "Withdraw To" their Canadian bank account.

Click here for a listing of non-gambling merchants that accept FirePay: http://www.firepay.com/_stores/default.asp

For any questions regarding these deadlines or this policy, please email info@firepay.com.

Sincerely,
FirePay

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing this information. Not sure why they're making this move but will inquire about it.

Thanks!

Firepay sucks and nobody should be dealing with them especially Canadians. Many gaming sites are in USD and Firepay won't let you have a USD account as a Canadian. They do this of course to charge your exchange rates for converting USD to CAD and their rates are the worst I have seen. They took over $100 for a 2k transaction!
